Having swollen fingers is not necessarily a medical emergency. But when Kayleigh Mansfield noticed her fingers were badly swollen, she went to her GP who initially said it was "all in her head".
Then Kayleigh, who lives in Nottingham city centre, showed her doctor her fingers and she was immediately referred for more tests, eventually getting a diagnosis of Lupus - an autoimmune disease that can cause joint pain, fever, skin rashes and organ damage.
She was 17, and her condition was caught early. On average, it takes nearly six years for people with Lupus to be diagnosed.
